I have a 2013 Ram 1500 Longhorn (air ride) with 37k miles on the stock tires. Those will need to be replaced before winter in Wisconsin and I am interested in something a little larger for the truck.

I don't want to lift the truck with a BDS lift, and I would like to keep the stock wheels. What is the max tire size that will fit the truck and wheels, keeping the air ride suspension in mind?

I would say the factory tire size that the truck came with is the largest. I only really say that because of the "aero" mode setting. Which is why, unfortunately, that 4" BDS kit may be your only real safe option. Sucks their stuff is so expensive. It would also suck to put something a tad larger on and have your truck drop into aero mode lol. Damn.

I am sure an Air ride suspension guy will chime in with his tire size.

I spent a few months at Fort McCoy in Nov, Dec and January in 09. It was cold as f*ck. I am from the desert. Not used to that -20 degrees or whatever.

I have seen pictures of someone on here with 33x12.50s on factory wheels with no rub. You can always get some adjustable links to level your truck.

275/65r20 is about an inch taller than stock and shouldn't give you an issue

You can swap the air ride links front to back as well and that will level your truck for free. Or buy the air ride leveling links.
